I use IbisPaint X btw


Sorry I totally forgot to respond to this. It's much better but still not quite right. Larry still has transparency around the edges, and when that gets flattened out their head looks like this:

Vault Boy and Spirou also need updating too


I downloaded IbisPaint and found a brush that may help. Didn't even have to search anything, it was just at the top which is very convenient

Download that brush and set the line thickness to 1, it should be exactly what you need.


Also a reminder that the heads have to go across the entire canvas, as right now they're just floating in the middle of it

Omg you just taught me something I’ve never knew about the app. But I think I did it this time, I used the brush you recommended me and I got rid of the transparent stuff. I think I will only do Larry since this took quite a bit

Yes that is exactly what I was after, thank you. I'll add them to the game now.

So are you not going to do Vault Boy and Spirou anymore? If so I'll take them off the claimed character list

2 WEEKS UNTIL THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE!!! Important info below about claimed heads, please read.


Thank you to everyone who has submitted so far, there are over 150 heads sitting in game right now which is so cool to see. Genuinely did not think we would get this many.


However there are still 12 claimed characters that have not been drawn yet. As a deadline warning to those who have claimed these unsubmitted characters, you have 1 week to act or you will lose these claims.


You can either draw your character by next Sunday or remove the yellow highlight on your character in the Google doc if you would like to keep the claim. Please only remove the highlight if you really think you'll get the submission done in time.


If you are no longer willing to draw the head or don't think you will get it done in time, you can either message me (in this thread or pms) or just simply let your claim expire.


According to my list there are 11 characters that have been claimed and not submitted (not including OCs and other very recently claimed ones). These characters are:

  • Edd (Eddsworld)
  • Tom (Eddsworld)
  • Bitey (of Brackenwood)
  • Vegajack (NOXP)
  • Green Eyed Cowboy (Gildedguy)
  • Vile (Reincarnation)
  • A-Bot (Newgrounds Bots)
  • Strombonin (My Singing Monsters)
  • Kirby (Kirby)
  • Spy (TF2)
  • Morshu (TLOZ)


@BabyFaceStudios @KrishnaVA @Phaox05 @Nebulate @ShangXian @Drazah @GrecoStone

To the users mentioned above, these are your claims, be sure to act if you want to keep them! And sorry if you're already in the discord and I've pinged you twice :-)


Will send out another reminder in 1 weeks time about remaining unclaimed characters.

Finished Strombonin and Kirby not long ago, have been procrastinating on Dusk as she's a harder character to draw with how large but skimpy her head is.

Been wanting to drop all three at the same time, but might as well drop what I have as of now.

Close ups:

Kirby's eyes might be a bit too black though, and looks a bit ugly in color, but idk.


Take it with a grain of salt, I am slower than a snail.

We love to see it. Don't worry about Kirbys eyes being too black, little amounts like that aren't an issue at all.

Personally I've been using Photoshop/Aseprite for my pixel art, these are paid apps though.


https://www.pixilart.com/draw looks to me like a pretty decent free website, though I haven't actually used it.


For the purposes of this collab I recommend you stay away from traditional drawing software, but you can likely find a different pixelated/alias brush for whatever you use.

I think it would be easier to check out https://www.pixilart.com/draw instead of drawing over a provided 32x32 canvas. It's free.


That being said here's a 32x32 canvas. Remember to follow the submission guidelines and claim your character in the doc :-)

Could I trouble you to remove the neck from the sprite? I'd also recommend changing the colour of the headphones to a lighter grey as they will not be visible on the games black background.

Krita is a free software you can easily download and use it to make pixel art. My pieces were done with it. Here where to find the pixel brushes in Krita:

the

collab

For this collab you will draw a pixel art head of a character of your choice. This little head sprite will then be used in a recreation of an old Mario bros. minigame called "Wanted!". If you're not familiar with this game, here's a youtube video with some gameplay:
The end result should be a more challenging and less repetitive version of the original game. There will also be a gallery feature to showcase all the heads drawn and credit the artists :)

Rules:
In order for the game to actually be fun and balanced, you have to draw your sprite under some specific guidelines. They've been written in full on the discord server, but for the sake of not filling this post with rules, here's a TLDR that covers most bases:
If your sprite breaks too many of these rules I will ask you to adjust/redraw it. Sorry if it's a bit much, but it's crucial for the game to actually be balanced and fun.

Here's some example sprites featuring some Psychonauts characters


Submitting:
I may also open playtesting in the discord server too if you would like to get early access and help me balance the game :D

i changed my thing to astro bot for anyone who wants to do the normal bots
